View Full Album

Yesterday we headed up to the foothills of the Sandias to take some family pictures by a friend.  Never did we dream that they would come out like this!  His Hand has truly blessed my life as the husband and father of these three beautiful ladies!! Thank you Lord for all You have done.

KADYNCE-The newest family member

 

Yes, that’s right.  We have a new family member.  She is a 3 1/2 month old TeaCup Yorkie and her name is Kadynce. Samantha asked for a TeaCup Yorkie for her 13th birthday and back then the answer was a simple…No.  Yet, she has never waivered and has truly shown that she is responsible and reliable as a “parent” to such a busy breed of dog.  Kadynce was rescued by a family that began looking for a good home for her.  With that, we were brought in to contact with that family and thus blessed with her .  Yes, I know many of you may say we are crazy to add to our Zoo; however, she has quickly adapted to the entire clan. 

Sam is going to be a great Momma! Ya got to admit, she’s a cutie!

Kerry’s Endoscopy Procedure

Keep Kerry lifted up in prayer as she will undergo an endoscopy procedure today to determine where the pain in her abdomen is coming from.  They plan on sedating her and possibly taking a biopsy of her duodenum, the first portion of her small intestine.  We are to check in at 1pm, so the procedure should begin soon after.  I will post an update as soon as we know something. 

The Life of a Teenager…

What do you get on Saturday night when a gaggle of teenagers go to Albertson’s to prepare for a movie night…

3 Bags of Cheetos-4 marble hand held bouncy balls-1 bag of Oreos-1 cake mix-2 Arizona Sweet Teas

Front left to right…Sam, Ryne, Emily, and Boo

One things is for sure, Kerry and I would never trade these nights for anything!

Vivian Ladies Birthday Fun!

Here are some videos from each of the ladies birthdays.  First is Baylee’s cake song at It’z. She had a group of her friends over at It’z Family Fun Center. Can you believe it, she’s a teenager!! Wow, she’s growing up way to fast.

Next is Kerry’s Birthday Wake-Up call.  Our family tradition is to wake up the birthday girl with silly string and song!  So, since Kerry is now 40 years young, time to wake her up!!

Last video is from the plane flight Sam and I went up on the day after her birthday.  She didn’t want to sit up front.  We flew for about 45 minutes heading South at about 3,000 feet.  Great flight.

Walking Pneumonia

Yup, I have walking pneumonia.  What a drag.  This past Saturday I started having a cough and come this past Wednesday, my chesy became tight and each cough hurt.  So off to the doctors...x-rays and tests later, I have walking pneumonia.  So it's off to bed rest for the next 5-10 days.  As Kerry put it, 5-10 days fo bed rest is better than two months recovery from full blown pneumonia.  Yup, that I would agree. 
Should be a long weekend.  Telling me to sit and relax in bed for days is like trying to hold back the ocean wth a broom...unless Kerry tells me to, than it;s not that hard. 
Yea, a friend just dropped off the first 3 seasons of the original Star Trek!  Let the marathon begin...

Snow on March 11th!!

We woke up this morning to around 2inches of snow.  Streets were clear, just all the grass and houses were covered.  Can you believe it!?

Baylee’s Drama Time

Baylee has begun rehearsing for the school’s upcoming drama performance, “The Ballad of Gopher Gap.”  The performances will be in May, the 14th and 15th to be exact.  Her character's name is Otillie, the judges sister who is 39 going on 16.

She is already such a great improv young lady, she is a natural when it comes to acting. They have been rehearsing for the past month on Wednesday afternoons. 

We’ll post pictures as they become ready!

Sam’s Driving…

Yup, that's right. Sam began

Driver’s Ed two weeks ago. She’s completed her classroom time, she just needs her hours on the road. 

I am very proud of her and her growth thus far.  She started with only two speeds-Stop and Go.  Now she has become accustomed to the “slowing down” process and the “gradual increase” of speed concept. 

The really funny aspect on all this is that Kerry refuses to drive with her.  Yes, that’s right, Kerry truly is terrified to be driving with her daughter.  She said that as long as she has one month driving experience, she will then join her.  Baylee is fine with driving with her sis.  She just knows that she needs to remain quiet and no wise cracks.

The picture above is from her driver’s front tire coming to a complete stop in the gravel by our offices at church.  At least she stopped!

It's Official

Just started a blog for our family.  Should be really fun.
Just keep checking in to see what we are all up to!
